Bannons of Ireland and New Haven,CT
The first individuals from this Bannon family arrived in New Haven, CT around 1847. I’m still not sure where in Ireland they were from as the notes I was given have conflicting information. Some notes say they came from County Antrim, and others say County Leitrim. I am working on figuring this out now. James Jr and his wife and son seem to have come over first. They were the only ones in New Haven in 1850. James’ parent, also James (Sr.) and Margaret must have arrived sometime in early 1850s.
Then in 1860 there are 3 Bannon families living next to each other. Margaret is widowed and she and her sons are living with a Catherine Bannon b. c. 1817 in Ireland . Next door is a Bridget Cox Bannon b. c. 1808 in Ireland, widow of a Michael Bannon, and her son, Patrick, b. 1841 in Ireland. On the other side of Margaret and Catherine is James Bannon III and Bridget McHugh Bannon and thier children. Chances are that the deceased Michael Bannon was the deceased James Bannon Jr’s brother.. making widows, Bridget and Margaret sisters in law. Bridget was living at 6 Madison St. (same house that James Jr. lived in) at the time of her death. Catherine Bannon may also be another sister in law, the widow of another brother.
